Who tf actually uses Docker Swarm anyway?
For when setting up a kube cluster is too time consuming and you still need basic clustering.
I do for a small home pi cluster
We use docker swarm at work. We have 0 issues with it.
I do!
Kubernetes is a nightmare and overkill for most things we need to run, and Docker Swarm is super easy to setup and maintain.
We only use it for one application, though. The app needs to scale horizontally and scale up and down with demand, so I put together a 6 node swarm cluster just for it. Works great, though the auto scaling required some helper scripting.
Not indexing from 0? Now I see why you’re not using quadlets or k3s or k8s
K3s powers my homelab! Delightful thing, that
When I try to explain what I’m working on at work to my wife…
